Since 1999, the Ontario Student Transcript reveals all Grade 11 and 12 courses attempted, including those failed, dropped or repeated.

Therefore, students must be careful to meet the deadline (one week after distribution of mid-semester report cards) to drop a course from their timetable. Failure to meet this deadline will result in a course remaining on the Ontario Student Transcript and thus part of the student’s permanent record.

Please note that all students are expected to remain full-time (minimum three classes per semester) throughout the school year.

Attention graduating students who are not going to university, college or an apprenticeship and not returning to Madill next year…

Consider applying to Experience Ontario, a government funded program that could get you a career coach, a possible paid employment placement, and help with applying to postsecondary opportunities. If this sounds interesting to you, come to guidance or see Mrs. Finch in the office. The deadline is coming up quickly, so find out more today!

This important student event is a must for any students considering their post-secondary options whether at home or abroad, or looking to take a Gap Year or do some experiential travelling.

The Study and Go Abroad Fair will feature:
Top-ranked universities from around the world
Undergrad and postgrad degree programs
Gap Year options
Work abroad, volunteering, internships and language travel
Scholarship tips and info
Free seminars starting one hour before the fair opens
Your chance to win an Air Canada flight to anywhere in the world

Students who are graduating (or have graduated) and are leaving at the end of this school year should also remember to complete the commencement awards form that will be made available in the spring.

A speaker will be at Madill sometime in April or May to speak about how and why to apply to OSAP. Listen for announcements. Please note that the online OSAP application for the following school year is generally not available until April or May.
